As he starts therapy, Ed will try to uncover the truth behind what really happened on that tragic day.
“We are very excited for console players to be able to play Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo, available in both digital and retail versions.” said Elliot Grassiano, COO of Microids. “We cannot wait to get players’ feedback on this thrilling adventure full of twists and turns!”
“Working on this new story, loosely based on the master of suspense’s movie of the same name, was a formidable achievement for us.” said Josué Monchan, Narrative Designer at Pendulo Studios. “Hitchcock has had a deep influence on all our games, whether through our characters or our stories. We envisioned this game as a tribute to his entire filmography, by including numerous references to his work, as well as multiple iconic Hitchcockian elements, such as his camera shots, his use of colors or his most recurring themes like obsession, confusion between illusion and reality, and madness.”
Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo is developed by Pendulo Studios, the successful team behind Runaway (2003), The Next Big Thing (2011), Yesterday (2012), Yesterday Origins (2016) and Blacksad: Under the Skin (2019). The game is available on PC (Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles and Nintendo Switch, and will launch on consoles on October 4th in North America.
